Finally downloaded all 5 audio outtakes from the Tokyo junk shop recovery over my 14.4k modem.

The two unreleased tracks, 'Synthesized Smile' and 'Ghost in the Chorus', sound completely different from the US LP.
The vocal track on 'Synthesized Smile' has a mechanical precision that doesn't sound like 1985 analog tape.

Kamome sysop says there were three more reels in the box that haven't been dumped yet. Keep checking the FTP!

Stop hammering kamome! The sysop posted that the phone bill for the relay is already astronomical.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.

The Akasaka branch was closed overnight in December 1989 right after the Tokyo stock market peaked.
